Reverse description The reverse displays a bilingual mint mark flanking the central square hole: to the left, a Manchu character (ᠵᡝ, transcribed 'Je') rendered in the Manchu script read vertically, and to the right, the Chinese ideogram 浙 (Zhe), together identifying the Zhejiang provincial mint. The legends are crudely cast with irregular stroke definition, shallow relief, and a rough, granular field, all indicative of a contemporary forgery rather than an officially sanctioned mint product.
